The BBC's Tom Robinson recently recognised Faid as a "stunning guitarist and songwriter" and he’s been otherwise described as ‘a young cat on fire, bristling with leashed passionate blues and folk’ - often likened to Alexis Korner, Bert Jansch and Kelly Joe Phelps. His songs, beautiful in conception and poignantly eloquent in performance, have been characterised as ‘decidedly English, wistful and modern troubadourish’ refrains, reminiscent of a time now lost.’

"For me Troy’s music is English songwriting performed with the highest integrity with no trace of ego or look at me exhibitionism. Folk clubbers, owners, festival bookers, roots labels and distributers pay attention, give this man he attention he deserves." - Tom Robinson – BBC 6 Music
